Enugwu-Agidi People Speak Out: Many Clamour For Ebuka Onuorah Re-election as President-General.

BY NKIRU NWAGBO.

As the town prepares to vote for its next President-General on 28 December 2025, a clear picture is coming out: most people living in the community want Hon. Ebuka Onuorah to continue in the job, while some of our brothers and sisters abroad are still angry because of stories they read on Facebook and WhatsApp earlier this year.


People at home say they can see the good things Ebuka has done with their own eyes.


“I walk on the new roads every day, my children cross the new bridge to school, and the town hall now looks beautiful,” said Mama Ngozi Eze, a popular trader in Eke market. “We know Ebuka is working hard for us.”


Chief Emeka Nwosu, an elder in the community, added: “Anybody who comes home will see the changes. The stories abroad are old news. Many were exaggerated by people who just want the seat.”

Over the past three years, Ebuka’s team has: Built the road from Enugwu-Agidi Junction to Ugwu-Ogwu.Fixed the big Mkpasalaku Bridge,Renovated the community secretariat Given monthly stipend to poor widows and old people.


These projects were not easy. Ebuka used his good relationship with the state government to bring them home.


Of course, no leader is perfect. Earlier this year some people complained about levies and the way some decisions were taken. There were also loud arguments about land and a few suspensions. Some women even protested in September. But many residents now say most of those issues have been settled or over-blown on social media.


Mrs Adaora Umeh, a mother of four, told our reporter: “Every leader will offend somebody. What matters is what you can see on ground. Ebuka has brought more development in three years than we saw in a long time. We are voting for him again.”


Even some of those who were angry before are starting to calm down when they visit home and see the new roads and bridges for themselves.


A youth leader who did not want his name in print said: “The people abroad love our town, but many of them have not been home in years. When they come for Christmas, let them drive on the new roads and talk to us. Most will change their mind.”


With only a few weeks to the election, the message from Enugwu-Agidi people at home is simple: they are proud of the progress and want Ebuka Onuorah to finish what he started.


“Come home, see things for yourself, and vote with your heart,” many residents are telling their family members abroad.


The election on 28 December will show whether the good work people see every day will speak louder than the old stories on social media.
